Kabamby Ocean Jasper 10mm Round - 8-Inch
Named for the village near where it is found in Madagascar, Kabamby Ocean Jasper was first mined in 2002. It is known for its colors -- dark green and mustardy yellow, with accents of pink, red and white -- as well as for its opacity and patterns. Ocean Jasper is a commercial name for Orbicular Jasper, a variety of Jasper containing variably colored spherical patterns. It forms when Quartz and Feldspar crystallize in radial aggregates within other silica-rich stones, Rhyolite or Tuff. Ocean Jasper is believed to be linked to the lost city of Atlantis and to hold mystic knowledge.
